		<description><![CDATA[In &#8220;What&#8217;s Going on in Britain&#8221; we noted that Britain has a serious Islamist problem.

The latest incident occurred when Israel&#8217;s ambassador Michael Oren attempted to lecture on campus. Eleven protesters from a [...]

And yes, Virginia, Christmas really is a religious holiday &#8211; but one that translates culturally into a season of hope, renewal and family. Everyone can happily participate.

Many others have done the same, including Michael Crichton in his now-famous Commonwealth Club speech in 2003. While Crichton analogized environmentalism to the Genesis creation story of perfection, fall and redemption, I think he was [...]

Marriage is a &#8216;condition of life&#8217; that has nothing whatever to do with rights &#8211; it is, quite simply, the response of mortals to the fact of a mortality that is both individual and communal.
